Medical Technologist's Prayer

 

 

Medical Technologist's Prayer 

 

God, who by calling us to the vocation of a medical technologists, has placed upon us the obligation of being a constant help in the scientific care of the sick, grant us by thy divine light a deep insight into the serious responsibilities of our task. 

By thy divine wisdom awaken in us a growing zeal and determination to increase our knowledge of how to search for the underlying causes of sickness and disease; how to recognize the evidence of physical changes; how to make important chemical analyses, and other valuable test so helpful in caring for the sick. 

By thy divine love permit us in this way to share with those who directly care for the sick, that thus we may be of constantly working through the eternal physician, Christ our Lord, Amen.
